DEXTER, Mich. — The southern Michigan town of Dexter was clearing up Friday after a tornado tore through the area, leaving more than a hundred homes damaged but surprisingly few injuries.

WJBK showed footage of flattened homes and downed power lines after three reported twisters hit the southeast of the state Thursday.

Dexter, 50 miles west of Detroit, was worst hit, with at least 13 homes completely destroyed, although there were no reports of serious injury. The tornado touched down with winds estimated at 135mph before carving a path around 10 miles long.

One resident told WJBK on Friday that the town “looked like a war zone.”

Thousands of homes around Dexter were left without power. Hundreds of volunteers and emergency personnel were working early Friday to clean up the damage, and the Red Cross opened a temporary shelter in the town.

There were also reports of tornadoes in Monroe County to the south and Lapeer County to the north.

March and April typically produce the most tornadoes in the US, but this season has been especially active, according to the National Weather Service.

Two massive weather systems beginning late last month have spawned a spate of tornadoes that have ripped through the South and Midwest, flattening towns and killing dozens of people.
